Professor Wang Shuanghuai, a speaker of the CCTV’s Lecture Room, gave a training session with the theme “history and status quo of the Silk Road" to more than 600 tour guides in Xi'an City recently.

The Silk Road consists of four road systems, namely the Oasis Silk Road, the Grassland Silk Road, the Southwestern High Mountain Silk Road, and the Marine Silk Road. Of the four, the Oasis Silk Road was the most important part of the Silk Road, stretching from Xi'an to Europe by way of Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions. All the 33 sites along the Silk Road that have succeeded in getting listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites are located in this section.
